Cheap Brakes

[05Saab]

This company has good brakes and they are cheap too.

My cousin had the drilled and slotted brakes on his Lexus LS400 and didn't baby them...never had a problem.

i think there is a huge difference between "didn't baby them" and "beat the shit out of them at a highspeed lapping day"

i wonder if they'd really hold up to abuse, not just spirited driving.
interesting link though

save your money and DONT buy from that place.

buy the cheapest solid rotor from bumper to bumper. you'll stop better and save some ching.

they sell solid rotors.....but i'm sure for the DD and auto-x they will be fine. I'm not 100% sure on lapping day type abuse. But who knows, he loved them and he bought another set for his other car.

I acctually think they're a bit over priced.


Here is all you need to know about brakes:

For rotors, find the cheapest solid disk rotor at any local parts store. Bumper to Bumper seems to be the cheapest for most rotors.

For pads:
Street only - Cheap autozone pads
Street/auto-x - Hawk HP+'s
street/track/lapping days: Carbotech's!!!

I agree with this 100%. I'm to lazy to change out my pads so I just rock whatever pads I have in at the track and on the street. I will however change my pads for a high speed lapping day. Carbotechs !!!! Yes please.


On a side note I had the R1 Concepts rotors on my SRT4 and had 0 problems with them at all of the auto x events and lapping days at Shawano that I have ever done with that car. In fact they are still on the car as we speak with its new owner. If I were to do a high speed event I would swap those out for some solid rotors and better track pad.
